The Tank is on?

Over the past two weeks, we ReBryced and traded our Best WR for a handshake and a Wendy's coupon. With 9 games remaining, and one of those games vs. the Giants, getting rid of Johnson may benefit us NOT by getting a draft pick for next year related to his value, but by making losing more likely, thus improving our draft status overall. 

Unfortunately for you Tankers, there seems to be a logjam at the bottom of the NFL, with 10 teams with 2 or fewer wins.  Here is how it looks, only, in your mind put the bottom teams at the top of your standings.

With the Panthers' next two games against the Saints (they have a longer losing streak than we do at 6 games) and the lifeless Giants, the Panthers face the weakest teams left on their schedule.  After the Giants, the Panthers have Kansas City, Tampa Bay x 2, Dallas, Arizona, Atlanta--in no particular order.  While we do not yet know how well we will match up vs. TB, I do not see a win on this schedule after the Giants--I think we win 2 games this season--3 if we go on a win streak or stun someone.  Remember, the last game vs Atlanta could be a meaningless game heading into the playoffs for Atlanta--they could rest starters.

We could beat NYG and maybe Atlanta's reserves. 

So what about the rest of these teams?

POSSIBLE WINS

Miami: Raiders, Jets x 2, Patriots, Browns.  (Tua is back--win estimate:  6)

New Orleans:  Panthers, Raiders, Giants, Browns, Bucs  (win estimate:  5)

Las Vegas: Saints, Dolphins, Bengals, Jaguars (win estimate: 5)

Jacksonville: Titans x 2, Jets, Raiders, Colts (win estimate: 5)

New York Jets:   Colts, Dolphins x 2, Jaguars, Cardinals, Seahawks (win estimate: 5)

Cleveland:  Saints,  Dolphins,  Bengals  (win estimate:  4)

New England: Titans, Dolphins, Colts  (win estimate: 3)

New York Giants: Panthers, Saints, Colts  (win estimate: 3)

Tennessee:  Patriots, Jaguars x 2, Colts, Bengals (win estimate: 2)

Carolina:  Saints, Giants, Bucs x 2  (win estimate: 2)

Basically, what seems to be a 10-team hunt is probably closer to a four to five team hunt by the end of the season.  However if you look at the top 10 tank teams, I am confident the following will be in the market for a QB:  Panthers, Titans, Giants, Browns, Jets, and Raiders with Miami possible.

I see the tankathon as a 4-horse race--I want to win it because I want to trade out.  The QBs I like are going to be there later in round 1 that could change--

This team even sucked the joy out of tanking for me because you know they’re gonna draft the wrong guys

This. There's no light at the end of this franchise's tunnel. They'll pick first for the next three years and have nothing to show for it but an extra third-round pick courtesy of Negotiatin' Dan, and two guys on other teams' practice squads.

Agreed, people who think we are tanking are wrong.

We are just historically bad.  

Giants are averaging 16 points a game.  I get the game is in Germany adding some weird factors but if that game isnt at least close this season could get real weird.   Players saying nope, asst coaches getting canned, front office getting canned etc.   We literally cannot be the worst nfl team of all time in DC and dans first year.   Tepper would be fit to be tied.  And honestly I am kindof here for it

You think they are doing this on purpose? This team is 3 day old swamp ass. They couldn't win a game if the opponent spotted them 2 touchdowns.

Yep, Teams rarely tank intentionally. Also it is hard to tank in the NFL. Panthers are tanking because they are just bad. They are tanking by just existing.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
